Hotel Gayana Resort Kota Kinabalu

 Gayana Eco Resort is on Gayana Island, the biggest island in Tunku Abdul Rahman Marine National Park just off the coast of Kota Kinabalu (KK). It takes about 20 minutes by boat to sail from the public ferry terminal to Gayana Eco Resort.

The stilted resort has been around in some shape or form for at least a decade, but has recently been revamped and was pushed into the realm of luxury accommodation.

Other facilities to be found at Gayana Eco Resort, include a seafood restaurant with live seafood, a luxury spa perched between the jungles edge and clear waters of the bay, an Infinity pool that looks out towards the ocean, dive centre and marine research centre.

The resort also features 44 thatched-roof accommodation units with a dark wood finish. All the units are set atop wooden stilts above the water’s surface. The ocean waters lapping at the slits, creates a soothing and tranquil atmosphere in the resort.

Steps lead down from units facing the bay and literally bring the sea to your doorstep. A splash away lies a world to explore snorkelling or, with the on-site dive centre, a deeper underwater world.

Keindahan Sabah

SABAH PARKS

Sabah is home to some of the most unique animal and plant species. This is where one discovers the heart of biodiversity - from Southeast Asia's highest peak to one of the most diverse rainforests on earth. From montane forest on the world's youngest non-volcanic mountain to riverine lowlands, islands, coral reefs and atolls.

Sabah Parks is about protecting this unique heritage. Our principle objective is to preserve areas which are of geographical, geological, biological or historical significance. These will be conserved and enhanced as part of our national heritage. Education and research will help ensure that future generations continue to enjoy and benefit from these natural treasures.

In 1962, the Legislative Assembly passed the Sabah National Parks Ordinance which provided "for the constitution, maintenance and control of national parks in Sabah." Under this Ordinance, Kinabalu Park (1964) and Tunku Abdul Rahman Park (1974) were established. In 1977, "The National Parks Enactment 1977 " replaced this ordinance. The new Enactment resulted in opening of the Turtle Islands Park (1977), Pulau Tiga Park (1978), and Tawau Hills Park (1979).

This was in turn repealed and replaced by the "Parks Enactment, 1984" which re-enacted "the law relating to the provision and control of National Parks and National Reserves in Sabah, with improved provisions for the constitution, administration, procedure, functions and finance of Parks.
